Babies When you are a very young baby, you have very little control over your body. You cannot sit up, crawl or walk and you only drink milk. As you develop, you are able to sit up, hold objects in your hands and eat solid foods. www.planbee.com
Toddlers As you grow from a baby into a toddler, your muscles develop enough for you to stand on your own. You also learn to start walking and feeding yourself, as well as saying your first words. www.planbee.com
Children When you are a child, you still need an adult to take care of you but you learn to do lots more things by yourself. Your muscles are more developed so you can walk and run steadily. Your brain is developed enough for you to learn reading, writing and all sorts of other things. www.planbee.com
Teenagers When you are a teenager, you are between childhood and adulthood. You are able to do most of the things adults can do and your body is starting to change into that of an adult. This means that you are still getting taller and that you are able to reproduce. www.planbee.com
Adults When you are an adult, you are fully grown. You do not get any taller. Your body is fully developed and you are able to have children of your own. www.planbee.com

Your body mostly grows in proportion so that you don’t end up with giant feet and tiny, short legs! Did you know that your feet are the same size as your forearm?! How could you test this and see for yourself? www.planbee.com
